Being wrong? Perish the thought.

I think many people are hateful without knowing it. Maybe even me. Because we don't stop to think about the effect of our words and our actions. I see it every day. When we criticize people. And the nature of life. Many of us have a superiority complex. We think of ourselves as god's gift to the world. And therefore we are entitled to tell people where to go and how to behave. In a sense, we become little and big Hitlers. We become politicians. Powerbrokers. Dictators. Yes, even Republicans. We think that we are right. All the time. And that our way is the only way. And so we will impose our way. Without compromise. Because we are principled with the undeniably correct principles. Other people are too dumb to understand that. We discard the possibility that we may be wrong. --Jim Broede
